A writer for the 1990s show “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers” says the casting decisions made at the time were a “mistake.”
&#8220;None of us are thinking stereotypes,&#8221; former &#8220;Power Rangers&#8221; head writer Tony Oliver said during the newly-released episode of the docuseries “Hollywood Demons,” which is titled &#8220;Dark Side of the Power Rangers.”
The writer mentioned how “the black character [was] the Black Ranger and the Asian character [was] the Yellow Ranger.&#8221;
Oliver said his &#8220;assistant pointed it out in a meeting one day.&#8221;
&#8220;It was such a mistake,&#8221; he added, per <a href="https://ew.com/power-rangers-writer-calls-black-and-yellow-ranger-casting-a-mistake-11710918">Entertainment Weekly</a>.
The popular kids series “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers” debuted on Fox Kids in 1993. The head writer said the Black Ranger, Zack Taylor (Walter Emanuel Jones) &#8220;seemed to have the swagger of the group,&#8221; while the Yellow Ranger, Trini Kwan (Thuy Trang), was &#8220;the peaceful one, who tends to be the conscience of the group.&#8221; 
He also noted that Trang was not initially cast as the Yellow Ranger but was added after the pilot was shot and their first pick, Audri DuBois, quit the show.
Series co-creator Shuki Levi said in a 2013 <a href="https://www.complex.com/pop-culture/a/elijah-watson/mighty-morphin-power-rangers-interviews-behind-the-scenes">interview</a> with Complex that casting Jones and Trang in those particular roles &#8220;wasn&#8217;t intentional at all.”
The documentary also aired camcorder footage from the set showing Jones saying, “My name’s Walter Jones, I play Zack. I’m black, and I play the Black Ranger — go figure.”
“At that time, [executive producer and co-creator Haim Saban] and I were new to this country. We didn&#8217;t grow up in the same environment that exists in America with regard to skin color. We grew up in Israel, where being a black person is like being any kind of color. It&#8217;s not something we talked about all the time. It wasn&#8217;t a big issue,&#8221; Levi said at the time.
Amy Jo Johnson, who played the Pink Power Ranger, said, &#8220;Walter Jones used to crack good-humored jokes about that. I think it&#8217;s funny if it was done unintentionally by the big bosses. But really? Come on. It wouldn&#8217;t happen today.”
“If they didn’t do it, people would say, ‘Well, why didn’t they make the Black Ranger a black Ranger?’ You could get criticized either way,” actress Barbara Goodson, who played villain Rita Repulsa, told the outlet at the time. She also noted that the characters changed each season. 
“The girl who played the Yellow Ranger after Thuy wasn’t Asian, she was black. You could find something to scoff at everywhere,” Goodson said of the controversy.

“Snow White” actress Rachel Zegler complained about being asked to “prove” she was of Latin descent before being cast in the 2021 Steven Spielberg film, “West Side Story.”
The 23-year-old celebrity discussed the experience during a newly published <a href="https://www.allure.com/story/rachel-zegler-cover-interview">interview</a> with Allure magazine. “There’s confusion because I don’t have a single ounce of Latin in my name,” Zegler told the outlet. 
“When I was in the running for Maria in ‘West Side Story,’ they kept calling to ask if I was legit. I remember thinking, ‘Do you want me to bring my abuelita [grandma] in? I will. I’ll bring her into the studio if you want to meet her,&#8217;” she continued.
The actress complained how “a bunch of white executives” insisted she “prove” her “identity to them.”
Zegler is from Hackensack, New Jersey. Her grandmother immigrated from Colombia to the United States in the 1960s, while her father is Polish. 
“It’s an interesting experience being part of that diaspora in the current climate we live in,” she told Allure. “But I love being Colombian.”
Many social media users questioned Zegler being cast as the lead role in Disney’s live-action remake of their classic fairytale “Snow White,” but the actress said she scored the role because of her singing ability. 
“The reality is, I was given a chance because I could sing,” she said. “My only prayer for the future of diversity and inclusion is that we invest in and nurture talent no matter what they look like.”
Zegler went on to say how she believes it’s “so important for the next generation” to see “Snow White” because it has a theme of good versus evil.
“To realize there’s nothing wrong with choosing to do what’s right and that it doesn’t have to be with anger or a clenched fist,” the actress said.
“Anger can be a powerful emotion, but it doesn’t bring the brightest future,” Zegler continued. “Snow White chooses kindness and still makes change. Power takes many forms. I hope we’ll see a new dawn of kindness and acceptance in the next couple of years. And people don’t see the need to use hate to cause further division.”
Zegler was also criticized previously for mocking the original storyline and describing Prince Charming as a “stalker.” She also made it clear the live-action story she was part of would have nothing in common with the “weird” original 1937 love story.
“[Snow White]’s not going to be saved by the prince. She’s not going to be dreaming about true love. She’s dreaming about becoming the leader she knows she can be,” she said during a 2023 interview.

Professional race grifter <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ibram-x-kendi">Ibram X. Kendi</a> is seeing his Boston University &#8220;Center for Antiracist Research&#8221; (CAR) close when its charter with the college expires on June 30, per the university’s <a href="https://www.bu.edu/articles/2025/ibram-x-kendi-departing-boston-university/">website</a>.
The center currently has 12 staff members who will remain employed until the June closure. CAR was founded in 2020 following the massive public outcry stemming from the death of George Floyd. The center faced declining contributions and support beginning in 2023, when donors began to question what, if anything, the center was producing. 
The announcement comes after Kendi said he was leaving Boston University to become the director of the newly created Howard University Institute for Advanced Study in Washington, D.C.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Boston University noted that in September 2023, &#8220;with public support having shifted and contributions waning,&#8221; the center &#8220;pursued a new strategy under Kendi,&#8221; which &#8220;included eliminating 19 staff positions.&#8221; Kendi was accused of financial mismanagement, but an audit done by BU found no evidence of wrongdoing, per <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/center-anti-racist-research-close-down-2024015">Newsweek</a>.
In the past, the center has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ibram-x-kendis-academic-center-focusing-on-antiracism-to-fire-staffers">sponsored projects</a> like creating an “antiracism curriculum,” an “antiracist book festival,” and “antiracism training for the workforce.”
The center described itself as &#8220;a full-service organization that translates antiracist ideas into action by unifying research, policy, narrative, and advocacy efforts. We take a rigorous, research-based, and integrative approach to transforming a racist society to an antiracist one.” 
It faced criticism for not producing any tangible research or assets during its existence despite being receiving millions of dollars in grant money and <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2025/01/30/ibram-kendi-howard-university-bu/?isMobile=1">more than $50 million</a> in donations.
Kendi, whose real name is Ibram Henry Rogers, is the author of books like “Antiracist Baby” and “How to Be an Antiracist.” 
He said in a statement: “Despite all the headwinds we faced as a new organization founded during the pandemic and the intense backlash over critical race theory, I am very proud of all we envisioned, all we created, all we learned, all we achieved—the community we built, the people we helped and inspired.” 
Kendi concluded, “To all the faculty, staff, administrators, students, supporters, and Boston community members, I feel honored to have been able to do this work with you over the last five years. I am departing for an opportunity I could not pass up, but what connected us at CAR remains, especially during this precarious time. Our commitment to building an equitable and just society.”

Faculty and administrators at the University of Colorado Boulder sought to hire based on race – at the same time, they were taught that discriminating based on race was abhorrent.
Scholars John Sailer of the Manhattan Institute and Louis Galarowicz of the National Association of Scholars published <a href="https://www.wsj.com/opinion/how-dei-conquered-the-university-of-colorado-boulder-discrimination-hiring-professors-0c306a9e" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a report</a> in The Wall Street Journal detailing the extent to which diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) took over CU Boulder.
The authors detail how faculty and staff for various departments explicitly said they wanted to hire new professors based on race and <a href="https://www.nas.org/blogs/article/exclusive-documents-at-university-of-colorado-boulder-administrators-department-heads-and-professors-worked-in-tandem-to-advance-racial-preferences-in-hiring" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published supporting documents</a> on the National Association of Scholars’ website. For example, faculty and staff at CU Boulder&#8217;s writing and rhetoric program wrote that they wanted to recruit a BIPOC (black, Indigenous, and people of color) professor, arguing such a hire was important to achieve the department’s “curricular and programmatic goals.” Faculty at the school’s Germanic and Slavic languages and literatures department also sought to hire someone based on race, saying their preferred candidate &#8220;could revise courses &#8230; to incorporate &#8216;critical race studies perspectives.'&#8221;
When hiring new faculty, an application form asked departments: “How will this hire increase the number of underrepresented faculty members in the unit (e.g., US Faculty of Color, women in disciplines where underrepresented)?”
This mentality informed many hiring decisions, the authors found. Faculty and staff at the journalism department wrote that a “successful” hiring would include “someone from the BIPOC community.” The geography department stated explicitly: “Our aim is specifically to hire a Black, Indigenous, or Latinx faculty member.”
The university also sought “cluster hires” – hiring multiple professors at once – but only from certain racial groups. The College of Engineering and Applied Science said in documents obtained by Sailer and Galarowicz that its goal was to double “our underrepresented faculty in the college.” Faculty at the science department stated their goal was to emphasize “hiring Black, Indigenous, Asian American, Latinx, and Pacific Islander faculty.” The ethnic studies department faculty wrote they “have an urgent and qualified need for BIPOC femme/women of color faculty in an Africana Studies focus who will contribute to the social science division thematic cluster hire in racism and racial inequality.”
“The proposals are remarkable for their candor,” Sailer and Galarowicz wrote. “It’s also absurd that while referring to the specter of systemic racism, they propose systemic discrimination.”
Matt Burgess, a professor at the University of Wyoming who previously worked at CU Boulder until last year, <a href="https://x.com/matthewgburgess/status/1883631087706104006?s=43&amp;t=zEuer7j4Ff8TVIcpiUO1KA" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posted on X</a> that while these discriminating hiring practices were going on, faculty “were constantly being told in trainings that racial discrimination in hiring was one of the worst things we could do.” He added that faculty “had to report [hiring discrimination] if we saw it, and it would be punished harshly.”
Burgess noted that at the same time, this was being taught, “the Provost was running a faculty hiring program with impunity whose explicit purpose was to racially discriminate.”
As one of his first acts as president, Donald Trump signed <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/ending-illegal-discrimination-and-restoring-merit-based-opportunity/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an executive order</a> restating that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits hiring based on race.
CU Boulder did not respond to a Daily Wire Inquiry prior to press time.

After winning the Orange Bowl on Thursday, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/notre-dame-university" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Notre Dame</a> head coach Marcus Freeman swatted down a question from an ESPN reporter about how Freeman&#8217;s race factored into the achievement.
The Fighting Irish edged out Penn State in a 27-24 nail-biter of a victory. The team now advances to the College Football Playoff national championship game, which is scheduled for January 20.
&#8220;You are the first black head coach to go to a national championship game in college football,&#8221; ESPN reporter Molly McGrath said to Freeman following the win. &#8220;How much does this mean to you?&#8221;
&#8220;You know, I’ve said this before, I don&#8217;t ever want to take attention away from the team,&#8221; Freeman responded. &#8220;It is an honor, and I hope all coaches — minorities, black, Asian, white, it doesn&#8217;t matter — great people continue to get opportunities to lead young men like this.&#8221;
&#8220;This ain’t about me, this is about us,&#8221; the coach, who is half black and half Korean, added. &#8220;And we’re going to celebrate what we’ve done because it’s something special.&#8221;

Earlier in the month, Freeman was asked a similar racial question from the press. He responded by saying he was &#8220;grateful&#8221; to be one of two black coaches in the playoffs.
&#8220;It&#8217;s a reminder that you are a representation for many others &#8212; and many of our players that look the same way I do. Your color shouldn&#8217;t matter, and the evidence of your work should, but it takes everybody.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560">

Freeman has also won over support for his decision to refocus the Notre Dame football program on God. A Christian his whole life, Freeman converted to Catholicism back in 2022 and he notably reinstated mandatory mass attendance for his players before games, a tradition that was dropped by the previous Fighting Irish coach.
“That’s important for me,&#8221; Freeman <a href="https://www.ncregister.com/interview/coach-marcus-freeman-talks-faith-fatherhood-and-notre-dame-football" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> the National Catholic Register in 2022 about the school&#8217;s Christian context. &#8220;I want our guys to wonder about what it means to embrace Jesus Christ.”

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/california" target="_blank" rel="noopener">California</a> is looking to hire people who can reshape the state’s view of air quality through the lens of “racial equity.”
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has <a href="https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/REL-community-expert-solicitation?utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=govdelivery" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posted a job application</a> for a “community expert” to “help shape the California Air Resources Board’s approach to advancing racial equity.”
The job posting says the agency “is developing a racial equity impact analysis tool, known as CARB’s Racial Equity Lens, to advance the agency’s <a href="https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/equity" target="_blank" rel="noopener">vision for racial equity</a> — a future where all Californians equitably breathe healthy and clean air, benefit from actions to address climate change, and where race is no longer a predictor of life outcomes.”
CARB says it is seeking five “passionate community leaders and racial justice experts” to shape the Racial Equity Lens, which it calls “ground truthing.” To do this, these “experts” will need to “validate data and information by comparing it with direct, real-world observations or measurements from community members the tool is intended to serve.”
Anyone who gets the job will have to provide written feedback about the tool and attend four meetings between March and June. Total compensation for four months of work will be about $2,500 ($375 to $500 per meeting/task).
The jobs are available because CARB adopted a resolution in 2020 “establishing an explicit commitment to advance racial equity and social justice measures in all CARB actions.&#8221; California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) issued <a href="https://www.gov.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/9.13.22-EO-N-16-22-Equity.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an executive order</a> in September 2022 requiring “state entities to embed racial equity strategies in their work, in part by developing or updating strategic plans to promote equity and respond to identified disparities.”
The tool has been in development since 2021 and pilot exercises ran between 2022 and 2024, a spokesman for CARB told The Daily Wire.
The job posting is full of “equity” jargon.
The posting requests that applicants who “have lived, professional, and/or leadership experiences uncommon in government bodies and industry” apply for the job and list a range of previous jobs suitable for the position, including community organizers. People who have “personal or lived experience as proponents of racial equity and/or environmental justice” are encouraged to apply.
Applicants need to be California residents “and/or a member of a California Tribal Government.” They should be from specific, disadvantaged, and low-income communities such as those in San Francisco, San Diego, or Los Angeles.
A CARB spokesperson told The Daily Wire that applications are open to “all qualified applicants, regardless of race,” adding, “Advancing racial equity requires collaboration and requires responsibility across all racial and ethnic backgrounds.”

The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/naacp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NAACP</a> attempted to use Marine veteran Daniel Penny&#8217;s acquittal to stir racial unrest on X, and immediately got hit with a community note laying out several key points explaining why race had absolutely no bearing on that case.
Penny was acquitted on Monday in the death of Jordan Neely, a black man who had a relatively impressive rap sheet before he began behaving erratically and threatening people on a New York City subway. Penny stepped in to stop him, briefly placing Neely in a choke hold — and while he died later, Neely was alive when police arrived on the scene.
The NAACP shared a CNN report on the acquittal and added the following commentary: &#8220;The acquittal of Daniel Penny in the death of Jordan Neely has effectively given license for vigilante justice to be waged on the Black community without consequence. It&#8217;s a painful reminder of the inequities in our justice system. Jordan deserved compassion. Instead, he was met with violence. We stand with his family in calling for accountability.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The response from Community Notes was as thorough as it was quick:
&#8220;Daniel Penny did not act alone in defending himself and others from Neely. A black man can be clearly seen assisting Penny to subdue Neely. A black woman testified in defense of Penny. There is no evidence that Penny was motivated by race,&#8221; the note read — and included video showing proof that at least one black man had aided Penny in restraining Neely.
&#8220;It should be noted that another black man attempted to restrain Jordan Neely,&#8221; the video was captioned. &#8220;This event was not racial nor was the verdict. If you wanted to show compassion to Mr. Neely it should&#8217;ve [come] during the 100+ prior times he was arrested. He was a danger to his community. Just a fact.&#8221;

Y’all wilding with that and I hate to say that I would not watch and will spend the rest of my days denouncing this franchise that I have loved forever. The new Jedi order better be multicultural with a Black super powerful lead. We ain’t playing yall!”

Bowman was replying to the announcement that Simon Kinberg would be writing and producing Episodes X, XI, and XII of the film series. There have been many “Star Wars” movies over the past four decades with varying degrees of success.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/disney">Disney</a> acquired Lucasfilm in 2012 and immediately got to work on a new trilogy of Star Wars sequels to the existing six movies. Each of the three films had a different director attached, leading to fans saying they didn’t feel like a cohesive story was being told. 
Despite Bowman’s demand to have a black actor play the lead role, multiple outlets are reporting that Henry Cavill is in talks to star in the new trilogy, though no official casting decisions have been announced yet.
Several Disney films have featured different races and ethnicities in roles that originally had white leads. Some examples include the upcoming live-action “Snow White” starring Rachel Zegler and actress Halle Bailey playing Ariel in “The Little Mermaid” (2023).
Bowman is a leftist activist who was charged late last year with pulling a fire alarm in Congress. He’s also a member of what’s commonly referred to as “The Squad” — a group of far-left lawmakers that includes Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Cori Bush (D-MO), and others. He’s the first of The Squad to be <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/far-left-democrat-jamaal-bowman-loses-primary-after-becoming-full-scale-anti-semite">ousted from Congress</a> after losing his primary race against moderate George Latimer in June.

Conservative media group PragerU released an <a href="https://x.com/prageru/status/1848922785172586969" target="_blank" rel="noopener">already-viral</a> short documentary on Wednesday digging into the repercussions of policies and attitudes promoted by far-Left activist group Black Lives Matter.
Notably, the film, &#8220;<a href="https://www.prageru.com/video/their-lives-mattered" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Their Lives Mattered: The Forgotten Victims of Crime in America</a>,&#8221; is presented by a former BLM activist, Xaviaer DuRousseau.
In &#8220;Their Lives Mattered,&#8221; DuRousseau speaks to the families of innocent children who were slain in inner cities, crime experts, and activists to understand the heartbreaking cost of BLM-supported policies.
&#8220;I was a Black Lives Matter activist,&#8221; DuRousseau says in the opening of the film, as shown in the teaser clip, below. &#8220;I was initially drawn to BLM because the media convinced me that thousands of black people were being shot and killed by racist white police officers.&#8221;
&#8220;The &#8216;fiery but mostly peaceful&#8217; protests made me rethink my perspective,&#8221; DuRousseau continues, referring to a CNN description of a destructive BLM protest. &#8220;It didn&#8217;t make sense to me why black rioters would loot and destroy their own communities in the name of racial justice, and why the media only cared about the loss of black life when the perpetrator was white.&#8221;

Happy Gregg, a woman who lost her four-year-old son MJ to apparent gang violence in Chicago, told DuRousseau that not a single person has been prosecuted for the killing.
&#8220;When my son was murdered, I thought there would be outrage, and that justice was going to be swift,&#8221; Gregg said. &#8220;But I realized, there&#8217;s no outrage; I&#8217;m gonna have to be that outrage, I&#8217;m gonna have to be that voice for my baby.&#8221;
&#8220;No one even knows that a four-year-old was murdered, because there&#8217;s a lot of people murdered. Like, &#8216;get in line&#8217; is almost the tone of it, here,&#8221; the mother said. &#8220;Through that, I realized that a lot of children had been murdered. And I had no idea.&#8221;
The same weekend MJ was killed, seven other children were also killed in Chicago. There was no city-wide, let alone nationwide, protest, like the media helped drum up for the death of George Floyd.
DuRousseau also spoke to a man named Nathan Wallace, who lost his seven-year-old daughter Natalia to gang violence in Chicago. One man speaking alongside Wallace following the crime, posed, &#8220;If black lives don&#8217;t matter to us, how the hell is it supposed to matter to anybody else?&#8221;
Others in the documentary, including Manhattan Institute senior fellow Rafael Mangual and STAND founder Bishop E.W. Jackson, help to shed light on crime statistics often ignored in the media and the policies and activism behind increased crime.
